This 1971 Datsun 240Z was acquired by the seller in 1975 and later underwent a cosmetic refurbishment in 2021 that involved repainting the body and retrimming the interior. Power comes from a 2.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the car is further equipped with front disc brakes, 14″ aluminum wheels, a left-side mirror, a woodgrain steering wheel, and a Pioneer cassette stereo. This 240Z is now offered in South Carolina with a timing light and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.
The car was finished at the factory in Universal Blue (903) and was repainted in 2021. Details include General Electric headlights, a left-side mirror, Z badging on the C-pillars, a black taillight panel, and chrome bumpers with rubber guards.
The 14″ aluminum wheels are wrapped in 195/75 Gillette Bear tires. The car was factory equipped with an independent suspension, a front stabilizer bar, and rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping is provided by power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes.
The cabin features bucket seats reupholstered in black vinyl with ventilation grommets and joined by diamond-stitched material along the rear strut supports. Details include a wooden shift knob, an electric rear window defogger, and a Pioneer cassette stereo.
The woodgrain steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline. An analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level are housed over the center stack. The five-digit odometer is said to have rolled over once and shows 8k miles. Approximately 100k miles have been added under current ownership.
The 2.4-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual side-draft carburetors and was rated at 151 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
